Bill Summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 281A to regulate the cabinet to promulgate emergency and ordinary administrative regulations to extend the allowable time length a limited CDL in accordance with the maximum length allowed under 49 C.F.R sec. 383.3; EMERGENCY.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Transportation Cabinet to create new rules, both immediate (emergency) and standard (ordinary administrative regulations), to extend the maximum time a limited Commercial Driver's License (CDL) can be used. A CDL is a special license required for operating commercial vehicles, and a "limited CDL" likely refers to a CDL with certain restrictions or for specific purposes. The bill aims to align Kentucky's rules with a federal regulation, specifically 49 C.F.R. sec. 383.3, which was recently updated to permit states to allow limited CDLs to be used for up to 210 days within a 12-month period, an increase from the previous 180-day limit. The bill declares an emergency because the Transportation Cabinet has not yet updated its regulations to reflect this federal change, and it will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
